Review of Mesoscopic Modeling of Liquids in Materials Science

Mesoscopic theories can be used in the field of materials science to derive local average properties of relevance to the engineer such as flux, pressure, average density or composition. In the following density functional theory will be described and applied to different systems of interest and in particular, to materials formed from complex liquids as characterized by atomic structure and the type of interaction between the individual particles. The calculation of the solid to liquid transition will be explained in detail as a prototype for other order disorder transitions. The theory of polymers in solution will be revisited and used to calculate phase separation in mixtures. An extension of the theory to include the orientation of rodlike, long molecules will be applied to liquid crystals. In the presence of an interface, the system properties depend strongly on position in space and can be predicted from parameters obtained in the bulk in a square gradient approximation for sufficiently smooth and small deviations from the uniform distribution. A phase transition is often used to prepare heterogeneous materials by nucleation and growth. It will be shown how the equilibrium theory can be extended to study the dynamics of nonequilibrium phenomena.

Synthesis of soluble polyimides for vertical alignment of liquid crystal via one-step method

A series of polyimides (PIs) were copolymerized from 4-dodecyloxy-biphenyl-3′,5′-diaminobenzoate (DBPDA), 3,3′-dimethyl-4,4′-methylene-dianiline (DMMDA) and 4,4′-oxydi(phthalic anhydride) (ODPA) via one-step method. The PIs possessed excellent solubility in polar aprotic solvents and easily formed thin flexible films by solution casting. The glass-transition temperatures (T_gs) of the PIs were in the range of 219-242 °C and thermal decomposition temperatures in nitrogen occurred above 350 °C. The resultant PI films exhibited high transparency at wavelengths greater than 400 nm and induced excellent uniform vertical alignment of liquid crystal (LC). Even after the rubbing process, the pretilt angles of LC were still above 89°. The PI seems to be a prospective material for alignment layers in flexible displays.     

Chemical route for formation of intermetallic Zn4Sb3 phase

Synthesis of intermetallic zinc antimonide phases via low temperature solution route was investigated. Trial experiments were carried out under inert atmosphere at 70 °C using metallic Zn, SbCl₃ and NaBH₄ as reactants and tetrahydrofuran (THF), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO) as organic media. Powder X-ray analysis confirmed the nucleation and growth of ZnSb phases in presence of excess Zn. SEM analysis revealed the existence of core-shell structure comprising of Zn core and Sb shell. Such particles get transformed into Zn₄Sb₃ crystalline phases upon thermal treatment at 300 °C/6 h in a silica tube closed under high secondary vacuum.

New In-situ Sampling and Analysis of the Production of CeO<Subscript>2</Subscript> Powders from Liquid Precursors using a Novel Wet Collection System in a rf Inductively Coupled Thermal Plasma Reactor. Part 1: Reactor System and Sampling Probe

A new reactor and a novel in-situ sampling technique were developed for the study of the synthesis of CeO₂ powders produced from dissolved cerium nitrate salts. The conical reactor minimized particle recirculation and provided a highly symmetrical and undisturbed plasma flow suitable for the analysis of the phenomena affecting the formation of CeO₂ powders. Both a calorimetric study of the reactor and a thermodynamic analysis of CeO₂ formation were conducted. The sampling probe is described and near-isokinetic sampling was achieved. The sampled particles were collected using a miniature wet collection system, i.e. a mist atomizer and a custom-made spray chamber. A numerical simulation of the velocity and temperature fields of the plasma gas in the reactor was done using Fluent. A comprehensive droplet-to-particle formation mechanism presented elsewhere is revisited and expanded based on calorimetry, thermodynamics of CeO₂ formation, numerical simulations and collected particles. No traces of other oxidation states other than CeO₂ were found.

Sample preparation for metalloprotein analysis: A case study using horse chestnuts

In the present work, 11 different procedures for protein and metalloprotein extraction from horse chestnuts (Aescullus hippocastanum L.) in natura were tested. After each extraction, total protein was determined and, after protein separation through sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), those metals belonging to the protein structure were mapped by synchrotron radiation X-ray fluorescence (SRXRF). After mapping the elements (Cr, Fe and Mn) in the protein bands (ca. 33 and 23.7 kDa), their concentrations were determined using atomic absorption spectrometry (ET AAS).

Good results were obtained for protein extraction using a combination of grinding and sonication. However, this strategy was not suitable to preserve metal ions in the protein structure. In fact, there was 42% decrease on Mn concentration using this procedure, compared to that performed with sample agitation in water (taken as reference). On the other hand, when grinding and agitation with an extracting buffer was used, there was a 530% increase of Mn concentration, when compared to the reference procedure.

These results indicate agreement between metal identification and determination in proteins as well as the great influence of the extraction procedure (i.e., the sample preparation step) for preserving metals in the protein structures.     

Solution-grown aligned crystals of diketopyrrolopyrroles(DPP)-based small molecules:Rough surfaces and relatively low charge mobility

Field-effect transistors(FETs) of three diketopyrrolopyrroles(DPP)-based small molecules, 3,6-bis(5-phenylthiophene-2-yl)-2,5-bis(2-ethylhexyl)pyrrolopyrrole-1,4-dione(PDPPP), 3,6-bis(5-(4-fluorophenyl)thiophene-2-yl)-2,5-bis(2-ethylhexyl)pyrrolo pyrrole-1,4-dione(FPDPPPF) and 3,6-bis(5-(4-n-butylphenyl)thiophene-2-yl)-2,5-bis(2-ethylhexyl)pyrrolo pyrrole-1,4-dione(Bu PDPPPBu), have been studied in this work. Well aligned crystals of the three molecules were grown from para-xylene by droplet-pinned crystallization method. FETs based on these aligned crystals exhibit a hole mobility up to0.19 cm~2 V 1s 1and electron mobility up to 0.008 cm~2 V 1s 1. The achieved hole mobility is of the same order of magnitude as reported highest hole mobility for DPP-based small molecules, but it is much lower than that of the high-performance DPP-based polymers. The relative low mobility is mainly attributed to the rough crystal surfaces with steps and, thus, non-smooth charge transport channels at the interfaces between the crystals and the dielectrics. This work has implications for understanding the low charge mobility of DPP-based small molecules.
